PROSECUTING ATTORNEY KENNoN
suggests that the difference (S19O 79)
between the reports of the Prosecuting
Attorney and Clerk Of fines assessed and
collected may be accounted for from the
fact that some prisoners, after working
awhile, conclude to pay the balance OF
the fine assessed, and that that balance
is paid to the Sheriff, and by him COW
cred into the treasury, and necessarily
could not appear in the Clerks report,
nor to bis credit in the treasury.
We have no disposition to treat Clerk
Cash unfairly, and very cheerfully give
bim the benefit of this explanation.
No explanation has yet been offered
about the unclaimed costs due at the
county treasury in January, 1885.

JEFF DEvIs has written a letter to
some Illinois farmers declining AN invi-
tation to deliver AL address at their
county fair, and embraces the opportu-
nifty thus given him to deny General
Sherman's charge that Davis was fore
most in encouraging the late war-fur-
ther. that on the contrary he did all he
could to prevent resort to hostilities.
He then has his say on the rebel flag
question, as follows: 81 may say, that
the order of the War Department to re-
turn the captured flags to the late Con-
fedarate States was violation of all
known military precedents. You will
find in my history of the late war that
there we're but 26 regiments of regular
troops in the army of the north. and of
the total of $50 Confederate flags cap
tured it is questionable if these 26 regi-
ments captured fifty. The flags were
captured by the volunteer army of the
north and belonging to the several
States, and have no right to be in the
National Capitol"
While the chief of the unlamented
Confederacy may be counted in his de-
tage and scarcely accountable for his
utterances, there is CLEAN of good
sense in bis remarks concerning the cap
tured flags, which will strike President
Cleveland square between the eyes.

FassleT & Kelly, Of Springfield.

THERE is something radically wrong
with the treatment of men accused of
petty crimes or misdemeanors. Wheth-
er the fault of the peace officer or the
law, a remedy should be found by the
Legislature. Arrested in one of the
river towns, for example, for some mis-
demeaIor, the accused has a hearing.
If convicted and fined, and unable to
ply the fine, he is sent to the county Jail.
There be is put at breaking stone, and is
allowed 81 80 per pay. The county pays
the Sheriff so cents per day for boarding
him in Jail, and So per day for furnish+
ing guard for the chain gang. On the
chain gang now is colored man from
Barnesville who has been on the county
the greatest part of the time for year
or two. Then the committing officer
presents his bill to the Commissioners,
and because of the alleged working out
of the fine and costs, is paid from the
county treasury. These cost bills are
enormous. A man committed to work
out a fine of $50, and $40 costs, at 81 so
per day, would work it out in 3915 days.
His boarding would cost SIG 81, and it is
safe to say his guard SS-making a total
of S25, in round numbers. paid out by
the county; and it is equIlly safe to say
that his work is worth nothing like S25.
Of course some means must he used
to punish men guilty of petty crimes
OF misdemeanors. but it does seem TO
US that some more rational and effective
method should be devised than that now
in use.

THE Chronicle still sticks to the exploded
lie that the County Commissioners had no
passes on the B. & o. road.-Gazette.
The Commissioners say they never
had passes over the Baltimore and Ohio.
Superintendent Devries says so, like
wise. Mr.. Mehan had while Commis>
sioner, and for years before, and since;
not given to him because he was Com
missioner, however, but because a large
shipper of coal. Does the Gazette mean
to assail Mr.. Mehan? Oar information
is that be did not include railroad fare
in his expenses when travelling over the
Baltimore and Ohio.
There is no doubt Of the fact that ex =
Auditors Barrett and Cofiland (the lat.
ter now chairman of the county Demo-
cratic committee) had passes, nor of the
fact that they made the county pay their
fare; nor is there any doubt OF the fat
that plain people believe passes are giv>
en- Auditors to bribe them.

So, 100000, over two millions of which
were due to the National banks of the
country. At the time of the failure the
stock was worth 5000 per share. The
news of the failure of the bank created
d decided commotion in financial circles
all over the State, while private deposit
tors were struck dumb with amazement
The taking possession of the bank by
the Government, and an examination of
its books, revealed the extent of the dis
aster-that its liabilities were about
S4,500,00O, with resources of about
$500. 900. The losses were caused ty
the inexcusable and criminal conduct
of its Vice president and Cashier, in
using The funds of the bank In a heavy
wheat speculation at Chicago, which did
not materialize to the advantage of the
bank officials. Not least among the dis

bank failure, was the assignment

THE Gazette persists in misrepresent.
ing the Commissioners. and again under
takes TO fortify itself by garbling utter
ances of THE CHRONICLE. Says the
! Gazette:
The county commissioners, as has been
proven, have drawn from the county treasu-
~, on several different occasions, sums OF
money for their own use, to which they were
not entitled by law Mistakes" it is call
ed by the Republican organ of the county
What THE CHRONICLE did say was
that this board OF Commissioners, and
every board the county has ever had,
had made mistakes. We might have
added that the present board had not
made such serious and fatal olGnders as
did the last Democratic board There
Was nothing that would warrant the use
sought to be made of the word mis-
takes" by the Gazette; but that is its
method-lies, personal abuse, misrepre>
sentation, and garbling.
As to the money paid to the CQmmist
sioners, we repeat, for the seventeenth
time, that they received such compen>
sation and pay for expenses as they
were advised by the Prosecuting AttOr-
ney of the county (their legal adviser)
they were lawfully entitled to. With
one exception all of their bills were
made out by Deputy Auditor Hender-
son, who should have known and ad-
vised them if they were making claim TO
anything not allowed by law. The war
rants for their pay were drawn by a
Democratic Auditor, who took an oath
to support Constitution which provides
that mo mUn1y shall Ge paid from any
county or township treasury except in
pursuance of law"
The impudent braggart reiterates his
assertion that The CHRONICLE has not
met his assaults upon the Comnission-
ers, and swaggers as only he can. Did
we not show that their claims were GER
titled by the Prosecuting Attorney be
fore being paid? Were they not ap>
proved by the Democratic Auditor who
drew the warrants for their payment !?
Were they not made out by the Audi
tors deputy? Were they not sustained
by the Attorney General of the State?
Were not their Democratic predecessors
paid in precisely the same manner? !?
Have you ever uttered one word of OBJ
lection to the per diem and expenses
allowed them?
The Commissioners have endeavored
to the best OF their ability to protect
the public interests. The GIZette's Au-
ditors either have not.o they were Who'll,
ly incompetent. Upon either OF these
propositions we challenge the closest
scrutiny.
